Filmmaker talk at Newton Park
T H E E D G E O F D R E A M I N G. A Documentary by Amy Hardie
A woman dreams her horse is dying. She wakes to find him dead. Then she dreams this year will be her last.
Filmmaker Amy Hardie is visiting Newton Park on Thursday 18th November. She will be talking about her recent documentary ‘The edge of dreaming’ in advance of it’s screening in the evenings as part of the Bath Film Festival. Please come to hear her talk in SNG01 from 2 – 4pm.
Here’s what the film festival has to say about the film.
Scottish Filmmaker Amy Hardie's The Edge of Dreaming explores life and death in the context of a warm and loving family, whose happiness is increasingly threatened by a dream. The film's structure weaves documentary and experimental practice. The result is breathtakingly beautiful. It is the story of a rational, pragmatic woman, who does not remember her dreams. Except once, when she dreams her horse is dying and wakes immediately to discover her horse is in fact dead. The next dream brings a message from her long-deceased former partner, who tells her she will die herself. When Amy falls seriously ill, she goes on a search to change her dream, a deeply personal journey that leads her to an eminent neuroscientist and a shaman.
